Hazel Nuts

Hazel Nuts make our list of healthiest nuts for a variety of reasons. Sure, this nut may be best appreciated for its role in Nutella, but at its core, this nut can offer a significant portion of your daily value for things like vitamin E, manganese, and magnesium, and it can help you increase your intake of healthy fats, protein, and fiber.

On top of that, hazelnuts have also been found to contain a high level of antioxidant plant compounds that have been linked to lower levels of inflammation and oxidative stress damage.

Some research has also found that hazelnuts may be able to help improve heart health as well. For instance, a study from the Journal of Clinical Lipidology found that hazelnuts may be able to reduce levels of LDL and total cholesterol in those with existing high cholesterol.
